    Really tasty! Cooked un soaked gigantes beans 30 min in pressure cooker.

    This was a great method for cooking beans and then using all that broth for something more. I agree that the Calabrian chili paste is a must, as it ends a nice fruity tang to it all. I also highly suggest using the parmesan rind in the bean broth, and finishing the whole dish with some balsamic vinegar and EVOO.

    This was pretty good and a nice way to quickly gussy up a pot of beans. As I was cooking for four, I roughly cut the recipe in half (probably left more than than half a pound of beans in the pot) and we still had leftovers -- a full recipe would be enormous. Made with RG borlotti lamon. Calabria chili paste is pretty crucial for flavor, and I also squeezed some lemon on top and also added fresh ground black pepper. Would make again. Served with focaccia and a kale cabbage salad.
